Introduce yourself with 10 bands / artists you've seen live: Ghost (x7)* Iron Maiden (x6... soon to be x7) U2 (x3) Interpol (x3)* Judas Priest (x2... soon to be x3) The Cure (x2) The Midnight (x2) High on Fire (x2) Slipknot (x2) Public Enemy * Ghost twice and Interpol once as openers

Centrists are going to have a meltdown when they realize a socialist is going to solve more problems in one year that they did in ten.

This is literally "blue haired pro-Palestinian protester blocked the road so I became a Nazi"

Right-winger 1: I want to exterminate migrants to ethnically cleanse the nation Right-winger 2: I want to deport migrants to ethnically cleanse the nation Left-winger 1 and 2: we want to protect migrants and not ethnically cleanse the nation SEE? THE RIGHT HAS MORE DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT

Honestly, what is wrong with people on that other site?

Even if war crimes and genocide aren't good reasons enough, the fact that Israel has clearly attempted to rig this and the last Eurovision should be reason enough to ban them forever. There is no way they have gotten such high popular votes.

I have a slightly conspirational theory of what's going to play out in British politics over the next few days and weeks. And it starts with the obvious: Wes Streeting is going to mount a leadership challenge against Keir Starmer. But here is where it gets interesting: he's not planning to win. /1

Ukraine is allowing Russia to have its May Day parade. Let that sink in. 🙃

Your friendly reminder that Russia not having enough tanks is a statement that hasn't been uttered since the Battle of Moscow in 1941. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Akira (1988)

I'm also waiting for the media to challenge every major Labour leader (including Starmer) on admitting this cartoon is anti-semitic but won't hold my breath either.

Your friendly reminder that everything that has fundamentally gone wrong with society since the 1980s has been the result of giving corporations too much power and the state less.

Today I learned that certain types of corn snakes have digital camouflage.

Name your top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only: Twin Peaks (#1) X-Files (#2) Transformers Buffy the Vampire Slayer Peep Show House Game of Thrones Supernatural It's Always Sunny... Black Mirror Saved by the Bell Stranger Things Parks and Recreation South Park How I Met Your Mother

Your friendly reminder that John Fetterman is a piece of garbage on every foreign policy issue, not just Israel-Palestine

Reminds me of Michael Lewis writing Liar's Poker to warn people about working in finance and then getting a flood of letters from readers asking him how to get into finance.

This alone is why Polanski > Corbyn (by a mile).

Funny they don't use this math when the Dow goes down. 🤔

One of free market capitalism's greatest successes in changing humanity's souls (using Thatcher's words) is the callousness in which we see mass institutionalized non-violent murder. In a sane society, what Thompson did would be seen as infinitely worse than what Mangione did.

As a not-a-transphobe I find it bewildering why people cannot be supportive of other people's happiness when the overwhelming evidence is that transitioning massively improves wellbeing and mental health in people with dysphoria.

I think it's being conveniently ignored that Starmer's Mandelson scandal is WAY WORSE than the Covid party scandal that got Boris Johnson to resign. The party scandal was immoral and insulting. But the Mandelson scandal literally compromised Britain's national security. Treason-level stuff.

Mandami is doing more in his first few months in office to help working people than Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries have done in their entire political careers.

Not sure how Starmer will survive after watching Ollie Robbins' testimony. He's come off as almost superhumanly professional while Starmer comes off as a lying, deceitful, and incompetent bore.

Nobody except Latin rock fans will get the title (great piece though) 👍

As much as I think he needs to go, the fact that the longer he stays helps the Greens means I really don't care. Labour is dead as Britain's party of the left.

I have an econ degree

Honestly would have been way cooler and more impactful if he had signed this off as Aquaman

The whole "Britain is poorer than Mississippi" thing never seems to die but this is a very good rebuttal.

Holy upset Batman, leftist Roberto Sánchez just overtook Rafael "Porky" Lopez-Aliaga (a.k.a. Peruvian Trump) for the second ticket to the second round of Peru's election. Porky had been leading the polls for months and Sánchez barely figured even last week. Wildest election I've ever covered. 🇵🇪

Objectively funny that Hungary's new Prime Minister is basically called Peter Hungarian.

Peruvian election is going to go down to the wire. Fujimori is a shoo-in for the 2nd round but Aliaga could slip and lose that coveted second slot.

Also launches an unprepared, poorly planned crusade into the Middle East at the behest of Jerusalem.

It's wild that a tweet with less than 50K likes literally defined the name of a music genre that plagued us for a decade.

Really would love it if people in my field, when faced with contradictory public perceptions and data, didn't automatically assume the perceptions are wrong but rather what data they are missing in their analysis. Otherwise this is Steven Pinker shit.

Your friendly reminder that hypocrisy on this scale isn't a byproduct of conservatism, it is the admission ticket. When you can reconcile contradictions so blatant, so obvious, you can believe literally anything. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Where have I heard this before... oh wait, no, not there

The best US political publication by a mile, and getting better still. 👏👏👏

All the dumbfuck "anti-war/anti-imperialist" leftists need to apologize to humanity for glorifying this man.

This really is the justification for a military coup d'etat to remove Trump. Any member of the armed forces that goes ahead with an order to commit war crimes is also guilty.

Wild that the plot of Top Gun: Maverick is playing out in real time

Almost every bit of this article would make sense if you replaced "fascists" with "neoliberals" which proves even more that it's the gateway drug to fascism.

Must have been a Ryan Johnson fanboy, otherwise have no idea why I deserved this block 😆

What I love about this is that no matter how much you go to the gym and bulk up, if you fight a clean fight with someone who actually knows how to fight, you'll get whooped.

The funny thing is that this is only a scandal if you are a reactionary religious puritan hypocrite. Conservatives basically shoot themselves in the foot by not allowing even the slightest deviation from straight/cis/vanilla behavior.

Fun fact: the decade of fastest per capita GDP growth in the US and the decade of the highest marginal tax rate in the US are both the same (1960s).

Kind of sad that the greatest fight scene in the three Star Wars trilogies is in one of the worst of the nine films (personally I find all the sequel trilogy to be worse but still).

That you don't actually have to pay off the public debt. (exception are libertarian economists but no non-libertarian economist actually takes them seriously).

Your friendly reminder that the Republican Party needs to be not just defeated but destroyed. The only way to achieve this is through a progressive agenda that ensures the Dems can win 4-5 elections in a row like they did under FDR thereby making this malignantly fascist variant of the GOP extinct.

The thing I will never forget about using the DC metro for 1.5 years is how connecting platforms are always on top of each other and just a quick escalator ride up/down rather than the frequent kilometric odysseys in London, Mexico City, and many others...

That's nothing, I think of shooting 10% of people every day. 🙃
